At Home With The Madisons
In their last years, James and Dolley Madison personified the republican institutions and culture of the new nation—James as the father of the Constitution and its chief propounder for nearly half a century, and Dolley as the creator of the role of “First Lady.” Ralph Ketcham's new study tells the story of the Madisons' "retirement," which was anything but retiring.
Meanwhile, Over at Monticello
Winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, Annette Gordon-Reed first wrote about the Hemings family of Monticello in Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy. A decade after its original publication, the book remains at the center of the discussion on race in America.
